When they could no longer perceive him they still rowed on speaking no word, the measured, musical plash of the oars through the smooth, dark olive-green water alone breaking the stillness around them.
In this piece his love of nautical adventure reappears, and his idealization of primitive life, caught from Rousseau and Chateaubriand. There is more repose about this poem than in any of the author's other compositions. In its pages the sea seems to plash about rocks and caves that bask under a southern sun. "'Byron, the sorcerer, he can do with me what he will," said old Dr.
Enough black indelible ink rushes out of this well, with terrific plash, to supply all the scribes of the world. There are infinite fortunes for those who will delve for the borax, nitric and sulphuric acid, soda, magnesia and other valuables. Enough sulphur here to purify the blood of the race, or in gunpowder to kill it; enough salt to savor all the vegetables of the world.
I should say so! Barring the costume, which I supposed you to have assumed out of compliment to the art or for vraisemblance, so to say and the no mustache, that portrait is you in every feature, line, and expression." No more was said at that time. Bartine took a book from the table and began reading. I heard outside the incessant plash of the rain in the street.
I felt miserable and disgraced to think that I should have been so wanting in my sense of duty as to have slept, and Bob was no better. "Bob! Bob!" I whispered, shaking him. "Yes," he said with a start; "I know I wasn't asleep." "Hush! Listen!" I said. "What's that noise?" We both listened, and my heart throbbed as I heard a regular plash and thud from off the sea. "Boat," said Bob decidedly.
Exceeding swift was she, and well-breathed withal, so that Walter wondered at her; and eager she was in the chase as the very hounds, heeding nothing the scratching of briars or the whipping of stiff twigs as she sped on. But for all their eager hunting, the quarry outran both dogs and folk, and gat him into a great thicket, amidmost whereof was a wide plash of water.
The stillness was ominous; there being no sound save the plash of a muskrat as he skurried through a dismal, dark pool near by. Katherine jumped at the noise and her small hand grasped the arm of Sir Julian, as it lay across the ledge of the window. She gave a little gasp just enough to touch Sir Julian tenderly.
We heard the sound of a coil of rope being flung upon a deck, followed by a creaking of blocks; then a scraping sound and a splash such as would be caused by the launching of a boat over the low gunwale of a small craft, an indistinct murmur of voices for a moment, and then the plash of oars in the water.
In the city churchyard, where the grass Groweth rank and black, and where never a ray Of that self-same sun doth find its way Through the heaped-up houses' serried mass Where the only sounds are the voice of the throng, And the clatter of wheels as they rush along Or the plash of the rain, or the wind's hoarse cry, Or the busy tramp of the passer-by, Or the toll of the bell on the heavy air Good friends, let it be there!
She lingered in the room, moving about a little; the place was always so pleasant to her that to go away to return to her own barren home had the effect of forfeiting a sort of privilege of sanctuary. The afternoon had faded but the lamps had been brought in, the smell of flowers was in the air and the old house of Plash seemed to recognise the hour that suited it best.
